West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan insists winning the Premier League is no longer a pipedream.

The Hammers are enjoying a fine campaign, easing the pre-season pressure on manager Sam Allardyce with a run to seventh in the Barclays Premier League and at one point having been as high as third.

Asked how he sees the next five years for the club, he told the London Evening Standard: "I'd like to see us win the Premier League and then the Champions League.

"Yes, I know it's unlikely but again, not impossible - look at Atletico Madrid. We can all dream.

"We are West Ham United, we're a big club, one of four big clubs in London. We have some catching up to do but we've closed the gap.

"I'm optimistic and if things go our way we could beat Real Madrid tomorrow. It's unlikely but not impossible."
